NEW JERSEY DIVISION OF CHILD PROTECTION AND PERMANENCY v. C.S. and J.C A-3353-12T3


 NEW JERSEY DIVISION OF CHILD PROTECTION AND PERMANENCY 
v. C.S. and J.C 
A-3353-12T3 
In this interlocutory appeal of an order transferring temporary custody of a child from foster parents to grandparents prior to trial of a Title 30 action, the court reversed the trial court's refusal to permit the admission of evidence regarding any bond that may have formed between the child and the foster parents, and the impact of its severance, and remanded. Although the court observed that in such a circumstance there is a statutory preference for temporary placement with the grandparents, the child's best interests 
warranted a consideration of any bonding evidence opponents of the transfer might wish to present. 08-19-13
